I took your group class coming up on two years ago and am thankful to report that I have been pain-free ever since. Your class literally changed my life. When I came to your office for the first time I was resigned to never run, play squash or golf again or just simply sit in my office chair pain-free. I now am in probably the best shape of my life and go around telling everyone about Mind-Body Syndrome. 
